Hello!

It has been awhile since I´ve posted my tanks in this forum so here goes my latest project:

Setup:

Dimensions: 90*45*45 cm - 180L
Lighting: 4 * 39W T5HO
CO2: Pressurized
Filtration: Eheim Profissional 2228
Heating: Jager 150W
Substrate: Thin Akadama
Decoration: Root and basalts
Fertilization: K2SO4 and KH2PO4 for now

Flora: Rotala sp. " pink"; Ludwigia arcuata; Pogostemon helferi; Eleocharis acicularis; Singapore moss ( true Vesicularia dubyana); Hemianthus callitrichoides " Cuba"

Fauna: A. bitaeniata " Kleei"; Otocinclus sp. ; Neocaridina sp. " Red Cherry"; Planorbis sp; Neritinas natalensis

In the first two weeks:






One month after the algae appeared in full strenght:






Today, the tank almost algae free due to the maturation of the plants and frequent water changes:



Next update will be a little bit cleaner and 100% algae free. Its just a matter of patience.

Fell free to comment.

André
